Warship

The biggest and badest of all maritime vessels is the Warship. The various kingdoms in Phrelle commission the majority of Warships. A small amount of these fall into the hands of pirates or privateers.

Propulsion

Warships require wind to power their three sails (Aft, Midship, and Forward). Unlike the Sailing Ship, the Warship has a rowing deck that requires 20 crew to move the vessel. Their weight keeps them noticeably slower than the Sailing Ship.

Weapons & Armament

One of the most well-armed classes of a vessel is the dreaded Warship. With two Ballistas one in the forecastle and one in the quarterdeck and two mangonels on the main deck, the base armament of warships can disable enemy ships quickly. In rarer cases, canons are placed in the rowing deck, and these vessels become even more deadly.
